We don’t need to watch the games. Because there are no losers. Everyone that made it was a winner and had a successful year.

AFC seems pretty straightforward to me.

Ravens
Bills
Then I'd probably go Chargers

NFC i have no idea.

Packers/Eagles: QB health is a question on both sides
Bucs/Skins: Bucs blew them out many months ago but then backed in the playoffs
Rams/Vikings: Rams wanted this matchup, Stafford threw for 4 TDs earlier in the season when they met.

Agree with everything except the Rams. I wont fall victim to recency bias. Give me the team with the better defense. Plus the Rams offense looked awful down the stretch, Kupp is washed.

I'm honestly surprised so many of you are picking the Rams. I have confidence that Darnold will play better and not miss 3 easy throws which would have resulted in 3 separate TD's on Sunday night. If he hits that first throw where he had JJ wide open in the corner they win that game IMO.

Also, I'm not sold on the Rams offensive line. If you pressure Stafford he's completely cooked. The man cannot move anymore. I have confidence Flores is going to want to make a statement especially since he wants a HC job after this season. He's more motivated than ever. With that, I LOVE the Vikings -1. Jumping on that.

It's not so much that I don't believe in Darnold, it's that I believe in Stafford and the Rams defense. They both played each other already and the Rams won 30-20. It was a competitive game, and I'm expecting this one to be too, but the Rams are tested and their defense has momentum coming in.

Before this past week against the Seahawks - when they benched everyone - they had three straight games where they didn't allow more than 9 points. This game's also going to be at home.

Gotcha - I didn’t remember them playing.

rams will be tough, they are a good team and at home
and the vikings have the sword of damocles that is their playoff history looming over their heads

i really hope we're not one and down (especially since the team had such a great year) but it wouldn't surprise me

Congratulations to the Chargers for advancing to the divisional round and best of luck to you against KC and the refs.

Since I've been watching football, the AFC South has always been the worst division. Going back to the Peyton and Luck days. Jags, and Titans have been garbage, outside of one year here and there. The Colts should be winning that division every season, but they're so dysfunctional that the Texans end up winning the division by default.

The Texans and Chargers have both only beaten one playoff team this season. The Chargers are painful to watch, the Texans aren't much better.

Maybe an empty stadium would help

As wildfires continue to devastate several areas across Los Angeles, causing thousands to evacuate and impacting air quality, the NFL said it is monitoring the situation's potential impact on Monday night's wild-card playoff game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium and has a contingency plan that involves moving the game to Arizona should the need arise.

In a statement Wednesday evening, the NFL said it continues to prepare for the game to be played at SoFi Stadium, but if it had to be moved, it would take place Monday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the home of the Arizona Cardinals.
